Chapter 734: Chapter 368: The Bill Enters the Drafting Stage
In the following days, the topic of the out-of-state tax avoidance bill continually fermented.
Entrepreneurs from across the nation were relentlessly criticizing and attacking the bill on social media and in front of the media,
claiming that the bill would shake the foundation of America and even vowing that if the Internal Revenue Service dared to implement it, they would definitely resist to the end!
Interestingly, since the bill had been leaked, no matter how the media questioned the Internal Revenue Service, there were no intentions of making a statement or declaring their stance, which was quite thought-provoking.
Half a month later, the Internal Revenue Service still had not made a declaration, and the Senate had no news about the bill either.
Many people started to believe that this so-called out-of-state tax avoidance bill was merely a rumor, or perhaps the Internal Revenue Service had just released the news to test public opinion and decided to drop the matter after seeing the fierce public reaction, and the storm slowly calmed down.
...
On December 14th, a private plane landed on the 13th runway of Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C.
The cabin door opened, and David and his party stepped out.
“Phew, finally back in Washington!”
Looking at the blue sky and fresh air of Washington, Manson also took a long breath.
For more than half a month, they had been traveling across various states, and it was undoubtedly exhausting.
Fortunately, they were now back in Washington and could rest for a moment.
“Bring the car out, we’re heading back to the headquarters!”
“Yes.”
Manson skillfully drove the Cadillac Beast down, and they soon sat in it and headed towards the headquarters.
However, on the way back, David took out his phone and dialed Sean’s number, saying, “Mr. Sean, I’m back in Washington.”
“How did it go, was the trip to various states smooth?”
“It went fairly well, I think it’s time to start drafting the bill.”

“Oh, drafting already…”
Although Sean knew that the bill would have to be drafted sooner or later, at this moment of realization, he couldn’t hold back his excitement.
Just the media leaking the bill had already caused such heated discussion; now announcing its drafting would undoubtedly create a sensation.
Freemasonry, you bastards better be ready for the ‘Dragon-Slaying Blade’!
“I’ve been considering the choice of Congressman for the drafting these past few days, but I still can’t decide. Do you have any recommendations?”
Most of those Congressmen had compromised due to his threats and inducements, and honestly, he was still somewhat uneasy about letting them come forward to draft the bill.
A truly reliable Congressman had to be found!
And having a foothold in America for so many years, the Kennedy Family likely had a few trustworthy close aides.
“A choice for drafting… How about this, I actually have a suitable candidate, a long-time trusted friend of mine. Shall I bring him over to meet you later?”
In America, the process for a bill is as follows:
Only Senators or Congressmen have the right to propose a bill.
Once proposed, it enters the drafting stage.
Then, the drafter will look for co-sponsors among their Congressional colleagues to increase the significance of the bill.
Following this, the bill is officially presented in Congress.
Then, Congress forms a special committee to debate, study, conduct hearings, and refine the bill before it can proceed to the voting stage in both chambers.
For such a significant bill, being its drafter and proposer would instantly make one a globally focused personality.
In other words, it would bring immediate worldwide fame!
Whether successful or not, for the drafter and proposer, this bill represents a brilliant political opportunity!
And now that David was asking if he had any recommendations, he naturally was eager to recommend a loyal member of his own family.
“Alright, I’ll wait for you in my office.”
“Good, that’ll do.”
After ending the call, Sean dialed another number…
About forty minutes later, a van arrived at the villa where Sean was.
The van doors opened, and a middle-aged man with thinning hair stepped down and approached the waiting Sean.
“Mr. Sean, I hope I didn’t keep you waiting?”
“Not at all, Church. I briefly mentioned it on the phone just now, but now I need to repeat it to you.”
Sean organized his words and said, “Over the years, you have been marginalized in the House of Congressman, and if nothing unexpected happens, you are likely to lose this midterm election. However, if this bill really lets you draft it, this will be your opportunity to make a name for yourself!”
“And if this bill actually passes, relying on this political capital, not to mention retaining your position, entering the Senate is also highly probable, and even running for President in the future is not impossible, do you understand!”
Hearing this, the Congressman named Church couldn’t contain his excitement.
Just as Sean had said, because he was supported by the Kennedy Family to enter the House of Congressman, he had been relentlessly oppressed by the growing Freemasonry Group over the years.
Although drafting this bill would mean facing huge pressure, it was indeed a great opportunity to change his fate!
If successful, relying on the massive tax revenue generated by this bill, his credit as the drafter of the bill would certainly not be small.
